d-wx-wS--T 2 smart smart 1024 Aug 8 09:23 200008 drwxrws--- 2 smart smart 1024 Aug 8 09:23 latest ... That's not a 2770. You need read permission on the directory as well as execute permission. And why is it sgid anyway? I.e. what would be wrong with chmod 770 200008 ?

to be more specific, the modes of that directory appear to be 03320. This has the read bit set only for the owner and has the search bit set for no one. 02770 would display as 'drwxrws---', just like the parent of the 200008 directory.

Ever have one of *those* days?? The above *should* say "This has the *search* bit set only for the owner and has the *read* bit set for no one."
